Striker and right sided attacking midfielder are surely the main focusDesperate for a striker and all the rumours are about midfielders and Gana being off. Everton that.

So? Bernard never plays 90 minutes does that mean he's always injured
What weird logic
BRING A BLUE HOME
Saying that, he’s actually better than Bambi
Isn't that what Marcel Brands is doing ?.. looking for new players.It's what would make this team,someone in midfield who bossed the opposition and led weekly by example,only cost us about 90 million.
To be fair Gana very largely attempts safe passes while Gomes was trying to drive the team up the field as often as possible. Still not complete convinced Gomes (if signed) will be a starter in our future unless the correct personelle are found for him to support.I agree, he messed up. His passing should be better. I don't know what it is with him. Sometimes he picks out worldies, other times he is hugely sloppy.
But Gomes' passing accuracy was lower, with a lower number of passes. And that was from around an equal amount of 'forward' passes (I don't have the numbers, just the percentages).
No, attacking players are subbed more often than central midfielders.
Dembele has to come off the few games he ever starts cos he's knackered or injured.

@Nymzee I looked up some videos of Ascacibar and seems to be the same type of player as Barrios but less risky going forward. His positioning is great but seems to dive in a lot and not much more of a passing range than Gana to be fair to him.
If Gana goes I want a deep lying playmaker that can ping the ball 30-40 yards to switch the ball in one pass making the opponents back line shift constantly and make them run an extra mile or 2 horizontally per game across the pitch.
I know they were world class and we’d never get a player of their caliber but I want a player like pirlo, schwienstager, seedorf, or xabi alonso in terms of play style. Nothing flashy just ping balls across the pitch, stay home, cover our defense, disrupt opponents going forward, and let the other CM pairing do the ground work getting up and down the pitch.
Gomes was what I was hoping was the answer but he seems to want to step forward constantly and join every attack. So imo seems like we are still in the market for a number 6 which Doucoure and Ndombele don’t seem to fit into that deep playmaker mold.
Lads, we are not signing anyone until we get some bodies out and reduce the wage bill.
Yes now that I agree. I remember him at Roma (I tend to watch a lot of Serie A also) but they tried forcing him into a number 10 role like he played at Boca but that didn’t work out so they tried the number 8 and he wasn’t the most mobile. But I did hear he is hugely successful as a deep playmaker at Zenit playing the deepest mid almost every gameLeandro Paredes.
All the talk is for Gana out?Lads, we are not signing anyone until we get some bodies out and reduce the wage bill.
Leaving aside Gylfi's quality I think it is becoming increasingly difficult to accomodate him in a 3 man midfield which is why we are often overun.Yeh regardless of our differing opinions on Gyfli, it's all compounding the issue at the moment.
Gana's seeing too much of the ball, which is bad for us, because that's his weakest point.
